Hardy has gradually gained more attention over the years thanks to "Bronson," "Inception," "Warrior" and "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy." But 2012 looks like his true breakout year, thanks to a starring role in the Reese Witherspoon action-romantic-comedy "This Means War," John Hillcoat's "Wettest County" and, you know, playing the villain in a little movie called "The Dark Knight Rises." Which you're not at all excited for, are you?
